Donomark 03/10/22 8:57:08 PM #53:	CRON posted... This is something I've been pointing out for years. Carlin is hilarious, but is one of the worst performers ever. I remember when he passed and either HBO or Showtime had a marathon of his specials. He never figured out how to handle applause. I sort of feel this way about Bill Hicks. Based on what I've seen, I think Hicks was funnier and more appealing outside of his standup, like in interviews. In his standup, I think he sometimes makes thoughtful points, but it's not funny, and can come across as grating, smug, and overbearing. --- "You can do it your way, or you can be effective." http://dbznextdimension.libsyn.com/ http://cbfrevue.libsyn.com/ <cite>Donomark posted [p:963346298] in SNL's popu...

TentacleDemon 03/11/22 9:25:43 AM #60:	Cheater87 posted... It is pretty much now only political comedy. And that's what turned me off of it. Political comedy is fine. But too much of it gets preachy.
